Regression introduced in f496c3cbe4.
Previously when we used security.initialRootPassword, the default
priority for this option was 1001, because it was a default value set by
the option itself.
With the mentioned commit, it is no longer an option default but a
mkDefault, which is priority 1000.
I'm setting this to 150 now, as test-instrumentation.nix is using this
for overriding other options and because I think it still makes it
possible to simple-override it, because if no priority is given, we get
priority 100.

This fixes the issue when the LXC emulator binary is garbage collected
and breaks libvirtd containers, because libvirtd XML file still refers
to GC'ed store path.
We already have a fix for QEMU, this commit extends the fix to cover LXC
too.
This tells the sad tale of @the-kenny who had bind-mounted his home
directory into a container. After doing `nixos-container destroy` he
discovered that his home directory went from "full of precious data" to
"no more data".
We want to avoid having similar sad tales in the future, so this now also
check this in the containers VM test.

Fixes a leftover from 330fadb706.
We're using systemd dbus notifications now and this leftover caused the
startup notification to fail.

This allows creating a container from an existing system store path,
which is especially nice for NixOps-deployed hosts because they don't
need a Nixpkgs tree anymore.
Systemd in a container will call sd_notify when it has finished
booting, so we can use that to signal that the container is
ready. This does require some fiddling with $NOTIFY_SOCKET.
Previously "machinectl reboot/poweroff" brutally killed the container,
as did "systemctl stop/restart". And reboot didn't actually work. Now
everything is fine.

curl does not retry if it is unable to connect to the metadata server.
For some reason, when creating a new AMI with a recent nixpkgs, the
metadata server would not be available when fetch-ec2-data ran. Switching
to wget that can retry even on TCP connection errors solved this problem.
I also made the fetch-ec2-data depend on ip-up.target, to get it to start
a bit later.
Removed the 'wait for GCE metadata service' job, as it was causing
issues with the metadata service (likely some firewall or something).
In stead, use wget with retries (including connection refused) in
stead or curl for fetching the SSH keys. Also made the stdout/-err
of this job appear in the console.
This version of module has disabled socketActivation, because until
nixos upgrade systemd to at least 214, systemd does not support
SocketGroup. So socket is created with "root" group when
socketActivation enabled. Should be fixed as soon as systemd upgraded.
Includes changes from #3015 and supersedes #3028
By setting a line like
MACVLANS="eno1"
in /etc/containers/<name>.conf, the container will get an Ethernet
interface named mv-eno1, which represents an additional MAC address on
the physical eno1 interface. Thus the container has direct access to
the physical network. You can specify multiple interfaces in MACVLANS.
Unfortunately, you can't do this with wireless interfaces.
Note that dhcpcd is disabled in containers by default, so you'll
probably want to set
networking.useDHCP = true;
in the container, or configure a static IP address.
To do: add a containers.* option for this, and a flag for
"nixos-container create".
Fixes #2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.
By default, socat only waits 0.5s for the remote side to finish after
getting EOF on the local side. So don't close the local side, instead
wait for socat to exit when the remote side finishes.

By enabling ‘services.openssh.startWhenNeeded’, sshd is started
on-demand by systemd using socket activation. This is particularly
useful if you have a zillion containers and don't want to have sshd
running permanently. Note that socket activation is not noticeable
slower, contrary to what the manpage for ‘sshd -i’ says, so we might
want to make this the default one day.
The ability for unprivileged users to mount external media is useful
regardless of the desktop environment. Also, since udisks2 is
activated on-demand, it doesn't add any overhead if you're not using it.
Apparently systemd is now smart enough to figure out predictable names
for QEMU network interfaces. But since our tests expect them to be
named eth0/eth1..., this is not desirable at the moment.

This used to work with systemd-nspawn 203, because it bind-mounted
/etc/resolv.conf (so openresolv couldn't overwrite it). Now it's just
copied, so we need some special handling.
